Netflix got shoved into this for no reason. It does not fit as "Big Tech".

Well I don’t think the acronym for Facebook Amazon Apple Google would’ve been palatable

Next thing, you'll be telling me my Lettuce, Guacamole, Bacon, and Tomato sandwich is in poor taste.

The reason was because of stocks:

Netflix is currently 12-13% of all internet traffic down from around 15% or so.

Dialing in a little, they peaked out at something like 40% of all US internet traffic 4-5 years ago.

Personally, the only thing I ever watch on Netflix now is the new Israeli TV stuff -- Fauda, Mossad 101, etc. I think this is one consequence of them shifting to being a "channel" with their own content (which I mostly don't care for).

Almost all my streaming is with Amazon Prime, which has a much bigger selection of content suited to my tastes.

Without Netflix we've got MAGA. Can't say I like it.
